Talk Wisdom's goal is to defend the tenets and values of Biblical Christian faith. We defend our Constitutional Republic and Charters of Freedom, especially when speaking out against destructive social and political issues. As followers of our Savior and Lord, we should boldly stand up for Jesus Christ in our present circumstances. He is our Savior, Lord, and King, and His love needs to be shed abroad in our hearts and in our world – now.

Using their Twitter account, WikiLeaks has dropped a massive election truth bomb on concerned U.S. residents and livid voters alike. According to WikiLeaks, despite the rancor and enthusiasm monopolizing the lives of most Americans this month (and for a dozen or so months prior), there is no U.S. election. It’s not real. It’s a dog-and pony show designed to give American citizens the illusion of having a choice.

As YourNewsWire reports, the WikiLeaks election stunner was catapulted onto Twitter just after WikiLeaks trounced President Barack Obama by publicly releasing a batch of his emails and in response to criticism of WikiLeaks for doing so. Indeed, WikiLeaks was accused of playing “partisan” political games and trying to influence the outcome of the current U.S. election cycle.

I don’t know much about that site so I hope and pray that this Wikileaks information is not true! However, I would not be a bit surprised if it turned out to be true. I think that President John F. Kennedy tried to warn us:

Oh my gosh! Just as so many alert Americans have suspected, the media of mass deception polls have been allegedly “skewed and narrative [driven]” in order to prop up the dying campaign of HilLIARy!

Excerpt:

(4) Americans are catching on to the fake polls:

The BSG report says “The public has lost faith in polling” because:

“Poll-driven narratives have been pushed too far, alienating most of the voting population. The use of polls as a psychological weapon has also been noticed (especially on social media). As the poll-gap narrative becomes ever more extreme, obvious visible evidence (rally-size, yard-signs, bumper-stickers, memes / social-media posts) becomes more and more obviously contradictory. Attempts at shaming outspoken poll-deniers such as Bill Mitchell on Twitter have failed in 2016 where they succeeded (Dean Chambers) in 2012. We are in uncharted territory.

Even hooks into non-philosophically compromised pro-Republican polling outfits such as FOX, Rasmussen, and Gravis have not produced substantial results.”

In other words, the phony polls are not working because the American people are not stupid — we can see that the polling data contradict the HUGE turnouts for Trump rallies compared with Hillary’s anemic rallies.

Hopefully, this means that the massive voter fraud they are planning (and, most likely have already started carrying out with mail-in ballots) will be overcome so that this election won’t be stolen by another lying, scheming, crooked Democratic candidate!

Go over and read the PDF link that Fellowship of the Minds so brilliantly salvaged where there is a discussion about the usual methods of choice to try and scare voters away are listed and [called “Non-Recommended Salvage Options”]. They surmise that such methods probably won’t work this time, so they need to consider using the “FIRESIGN” effect.

This is almost too crazy to believe…isn’t it? It’s like that mind control device developed by The Riddler in the Batman Forever movie!

With all the seriousness that is currently swirling around this election, and the fact that the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner/humorous roast is happening tonight, I thought that I would first share some of the funny comments and photos that I have encountered on blogs and websites where people are sharing their opinions about last night’s debate.

BobM001 at WND:

She looked like a “WHITE WHALE” in that outfit. “Moby Dork” TRUMP “harpooned” her sorry backside tonight.

I think the whale is much cuter….

*******

Warren at WND:

If Hillary was Pinocchio, she would not get within two and a half feet of the microphone. Lies, lies, and more bold faced lies! Hillary is a living breathing Medusa!

Phillip in Tx reply to Warren:

You misspelled “miles.” 🙂

*******

Derald Hamilton to 4Him:

But she looks great in a pants suit.

Phillip in Tx reply to Derald:

Inspired by Chairman Mao

*******

*******

Mike at WND:

She dumped more pooh in Las Vegas than she did in Laurenceville, Ga.

Phillip in Tx to Mike:

“Democrat Perfume!” No wonder “the fly” landed on her face in the second debate!

*******

*******

Phillip in TX:

Well, Witchary “won’t be late to any appointments!” Trump CLEANED HER CLOCK!

*******

I will search for more when I have time. Sometimes we need humor to get us through this highly stressful election season. However, it has been difficult to find funny quips about this election. Why? Because of the very serious issues and the positive vs. negative philosophies of the candidates. Hillary’s views are very vile! One huge example (and there are many!) causes me to be a NEVER HILLARY voter! Her belief shared last night that partial birth abortion is necessary to “save the life of the mother” is not only murderous, horrid and despicable, but is totally evil and deceitful! If the baby is killed at the back of the neck in the womb when the rest of the baby’s body is out, THAT’S INFANTICIDE!

When she used the term “mother,” it showed the egregiously evil and total hypocrisy of her beliefs! If that baby is being killed while partially in the birth canal, then the women ends up being the “mother???” of a dead baby!!!

The pro-life view makes moral sense. Choose LIFE – YOUR MOTHER DID!

Killary is the polar opposite of Trump on the life-for-babies issue, as well as most of the important and pressing issues of our time. Our nation hangs in the balance until election day. I continue to hope and pray that God will grant us mercy and save the soul of our nation!

There are many political “cartoons” (more accurately, deeply ‘sad-tunes’!) that highlight exactly why HiLIARy is NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT!

This one is even MORE offensive…especially the language used in the beginning and the end of the video. All that is caught on tape here is just more proof that voter fraud has been happening for the last 50 years!

Have you ever felt like this election has gone to the dogs? Not only that, but we could add on the viciousness of coyote behavior, too!

On my block, most of my friendly neighborhood acquaintances happen to be dog owners like myself. We often run into each other while walking our dogs. It’s a bit strange that during our chats, none of us have brought up anything about the current political circus going on. Actually, I’m glad about this. Once the election is over, I don’t even want to know who voted for whom. It will allow me to escape any rip-roaring “debates” about it in the future.

I’m able to walk along with those neighbors who have dogs that are friendly towards mine. I lament that a wonderful neighbor of mine unfortunately owns a larger dog that my little Dachshund-Pekinese viciously barks at whenever they come down the street. I’m guessing that he might think the dog is a coyote? The dog does resemble the look of a coyote. In our neighborhood, we all do need to be careful to watch our dogs any time we let them out into the yard – especially at night. A neighbor that lives behind our back yard had her dog viciously attacked by a coyote! She had to bat the coyote away in order to rescue her little dog from the jaws of the animal. Several years ago, the same thing happened to a neighbor’s dog up the street. She pulled her dog out of the mouth of the coyote. The poor thing needed many stitches at the animal hospital.

The coyotes often travel in packs. I can often hear them in the distance because they make a lot of noise when they have captured and killed their next meal. Occasionally I have spotted a lone coyote in our front yard, so I yell at my dogs to get in the house immediately!

I was thinking today that this current election season is similar to the friendly vs. vicious dog encounters, as well as the bloody, almost deadly coyote encounters.

It can be difficult to ever have a friendly conversation between voters. It is even more difficult to keep the peace between a friendly person voting for one side, vs. a rabid supporter for the other side.

When a #Never Hillary voter is confronted by a #Never Trump voter, the media shows the vicious (and sometimes bloody) results.

In this horrible political climate, it is often quite necessary to proceed with caution when discussing this election, as well as politics in general. So many people that I talk with just want it to be over!!

My friend L and I know that our votes here in California won’t even count due to the liberal leftist tsunami of voters who will automatically vote for Hillary. We discussed writing in Mike Pence’s name for president! After all, he is a Christian, conservative, and successful governor for the state of Indiana and I personally think that he has a bright political future ahead of him! I may not live long enough to see it, but I would be proud to tell my adult children and my granddaughter that he is a man that I could support in the 2016 election.

Today, I received an email from a Christian conservative woman who is active in politics here in my town. Each election season, she sends out her picks citing that based on biblical principles and conservative values, these are the “best” choices.

Editor’s Note: Be aware of offensive language throughout video and in quotes from video.

A Democratic operative has been captured on video revealing his agents and cohorts are “starting anarchy” by creating “conflict engagement … in the lines at Trump rallies.”

The stunning statements from Scott Foval, the national field director at Americans United for Change, were captured by James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, who earlier captured comments from Democrats about how common voter fraud is.

He also got Bob Creamer, founder and partner of Democracy Partners, admitting, “I’m not suggesting we wait around, we need to start this s— right away.”

Added Foval, “It doesn’t matter what the friggin legal and ethics people say, we need to win this m—–f—–.”

And Creamer confirmed, “The campaign is fully in it.”

Project Veritas said it is working on a multi-part series that “exposes the dark secrets at the highest levels of the DNC and Clinton presidential campaign.”

Creamer founded the Democratic consulting firm Democracy Partners and is listed as a partner on the website. He is the husband of Jan Shakowsky, a congresswoman from Chicago. In 2005, he plead guilty to tax violations and bank fraud.

“Wherever Trump and Pence are going to be, we have events and we have a whole team across the country that does that both consultants and people from the Democratic Party,” Creamer told an investigator. “And the Democratic Party apparatus and the people from the campaign, the Clinton campaign and my role with the campaign, is to manage all that.”

THIS BLOG HAS ABOUT 80 FOLLOWERS AND UP TO 100 READERS. IF JUST HALF OF YOU GET THIS OUT TO OTHERS WHO DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE CORRUPTION AND FRAUD, THEN YOU WILL BE DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR AMERICA! HOPEFULLY, THE PEOPLE THAT YOU REACH WILL SHARE IT TOO.

I’m reminded of that old metaphorical statement “praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.” We have to do both—pray and act. We have to pray like crazy for God to intervene in this country and break us. Incidentally, I also think if we’re going to see a spiritual change in this country, I believe it will happen through our young people.

I was with a bunch of young people yesterday and I was reminding them that all of the Great Awakenings, including the beginning of the modern mission movement, started among young people. One girl said, “I told God the answer is ‘yes.’ I don’t even know what the questions are, but whatever You want me to do, the answer is ‘yes.’” So I believe we need to pray with all of our hearts that God will do a work in our churches and especially in our youth. And while we’re all doing that, we don’t want to sit on our hands and not do the other things that we can do, such as vote, and try to have an informed vote based upon the issues that we know will really matter. So we have to praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

– Dr. David Jeremiah in BGEA Decision Magazine’s 2016 Electoral Guide

Readers may recall that in my former post entitled, Stuck In The Middle With You I had encouraged voters to order the free Decision magazine issue that presents 2016 Election information when considering our choice this November regarding, “Two Visions, Two Americas.”

If you didn’t order the magazine yet, the good news is that the Electoral guide with complete articles are now online!

This morning, I finally finished reading all of the articles. They are very informative and I think they will help readers make the best decisions regarding this upcoming election.

I suggest reading all of the articles at Billy Graham’s website. Each reader can decide which article to read first. I chose to read The Party Platforms and then the Where The Candidates Stand report. As I saw the striking differences between the Democratic vs. Republican platforms, I thought to myself that as a Christian first, wife, mother and grandmother second, Conservative third, and registered Republican last, that if I were in a swing state I would vote for Donald Trump for President. Why? Because it would be a vote against crooked HiLIARy!

The stark differences between these two candidates (especially the egregious corruption in the Democrat party that has been revealed by Wikileaks each day) makes me a Never Hillaryvoter. The criminal activity that she has been involved in (especially Benghazi), the mountain of lies she has piled up over the years, the legitimate concern about her obviously failing health (and the huge cover-up about this), and the media- of-mass-deception that is doing all that they can to avoid reporting her crimes (while so obviously backing her campaign), places an absolute conclusion in my mind that she should NEVER become president!

Being in the state of California in which the electoral college hasn’t given a victory to a Republican since Ronald Reagan in the ’80s tells me that even if I were to vote for Trump here, technically it wouldn’t really count anyway. However, would I be neglecting my Christian duty to leave my ballot choice for president blank?

Dr. David Jeremiah’s question and answer portion in the magazine was very informative; as were so many of the other articles so please take the time to read it all. I especially took to heart these portions:

Q: How should a Christian voter prioritize the issues?

A:One of the most important questions going forward is, will our people be able to live their lives and worship God in freedom, or will the Supreme Court and its decisions continue to squeeze evangelicals, so that we are forced to violate the law or violate our conscience toward God? I think that’s the biggest issue—whether we can live and worship the Lord and live according to the dictates of our conscience, or get forced into a corner of political correctness and have to make a decision of whether to go to jail or follow our faith.

Q: Living in California as you do, you’ve seen firsthand a lot of the social progressivism before the rest of the country has experienced it. What do you foresee for Gospel-minded Christians in the next four to eight years?

A: There’s both good and bad. The church has always flourished when it was under pressure. Prosperity has never been good for the church. Adversity has consistently been good for the church. The New Testament was written in a time when Rome was running rampant over Christianity and you knew who the real Christians were. They stood up and were counted. I think one of two things is going to happen: Either we’re going to see a revival of some sort, and with that a renewal of the principles upon which this country was built, or we’re going to fall into a time of great pressure on Christians.

I think this current election may have a great deal to do with which direction that goes. And I believe that apart from a spiritual renewal, a Great Awakening like the ones we’ve had in the past—during which we would return to our roots spiritually—what we’re going to face is more and more the church under the pressure of the government, more and more being pressured to conduct weddings that we will never conduct, more and more being told to say things that we can’t say.

I don’t think that means we should be discouraged as believers. The Gospel has never been more necessary than it is now. All of these things that we talk about don’t in any way impact the fact that Jesus Christ is still the answer and that salvation is still the main business of the church.

During this bizarre election season there are many so-called “news networks” (like the media-of-mass-deception’s champion – CNN, a.k.a. Clinton News Network) – that often refuse to report or even acknowledge the egregious corruption going on in HiLIARY’s political life and campaign!

Early this morning, one of the pundits over at the Fox News Channel made a great point. He stated that in the current trend of our “visual” world, the tape about Trump and his “locker room talk” gets more play and attention than the Wikileaks exposure of HiLIARy’s emails between her, Podesta, and the rest of her evil cronies – which SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS FAR MORE DAMAGING.

Let’s look at one of the latest revelations obtained via the latest Wikileaks email document dump.

“The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking – and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.” To emphasize, Ivey admits that the left has ‘conspired’ to “produce an unaware and compliant citizenry” but that they’re not as easy to manipulate anymore and that this is a […]

We can’t even believe the polls anymore! The media of mass deception is complicit in LYING ABOUT THAT, TOO!

The Real Battle, is The Battle For Your Mind

Researchers and political analysts frequent CTH because we bring you hard, factual, and fully cited research enabling you to make up your own mind about the headlines.

What you are about to read (and see) below is a fully cited example of something we have discussed frequently, but withheld until today, so the oppositional forces cannot change strategies in their attempts to manipulate your mind.

It is now time to lay all media polling naked for you to grasp. Everything below is fully cited so you can fact-check it for yourself. However, we present this with a disclaimer: the entities exposed will industriously work to change their approach from this day forth.

What is quite interesting about the “cooked poll” post over at The Last Refuge is the FACT that it was eventually taken down at MSNBC! Why? Because people were connecting the dots about the situation and it revealed the continuing corruption and collusion between the HiLIARy campaign and the media of mass deception!

Excerpt:

…The Battle Really is For Your Mind

We warned overnight that revealing the structural inner works behind the closed doors of “media polls” was going to result in a necessary change in behavior by them in order for the ruse to be maintained. This reaction is what the corporate (Wall Street) media always do when they’re exposed to sunlight.

This morning MSNBC Morning Joe, discussed the poll and called it “cooked”.

However, don’t accept the self-interested positioning. Everyone sitting around that table participated in the Hillary Clinton campaign pre-launch meeting as outlined by WikiLeaks (you’ll note they never disclosed on their own).

Even a modest political follower can spot the narrative construction in timeline, against the backdrop of the relationships involved in the entire matter.

This was a timed, strategic, and fully coordinated, media political hit between NBC/Universal and Priorities USA – All the entities involved are Team Clinton.

Do not mentally allow the MSNBC Team (Joe Scarborough), professionals at gas lighting, to head obtusely toward the exits as if this is some jaw-agape shock to them. It’s not.

The issue for MSNBC (NBC/Universal) is how brutally obvious it all became –AND– people looking deeply into the financial connections between so called “media polling” and the political entities of Team Clinton.

USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Donald Trump’s gutter talk about women shows yet again that he is bad news. The problem is that Hillary Clinton is far worse.

Trump’s talk is indefensible. But Hillary Clinton’s actions as Secretary of State, carrying out the Obama administration’s foreign policies, have cost many lives in many places, including the American ambassador and others killed in Benghazi.

Women have a right to be offended by Trump’s words.

But women have suffered a far worse fate from Secretary Clinton’s and President Obama’s actions. Pulling American troops out of Iraq, despite military advice to the contrary, led to the sudden rise of ISIS and their seizing of many women and young girls as sex slaves.

A message from one of these women urged the bombing of ISIS.

She said she would rather be dead than live the life of a sex slave. Some women who tried to commit suicide and failed have been tortured for trying.

Meanwhile, President Obama tried to downplay ISIS with flippant words, by calling them the junior varsity. His half-hearted, foot-dragging military response has allowed ISIS to parade before the world as triumphant conquerors, appealing to disgruntled people in Western countries to carry out terrorist attacks in support of their cause.

That is a lot worse than some stupid and gross words by Donald Trump, which even he has had to repudiate. Make no mistake about it. Neither party has a good candidate for President. The choice is between bad and disastrous.

Are women more in danger from Trump’s words or Hillary’s actions?

Are Americans in general more in danger from Trump’s shallowness on issues or Hillary’s ruthless grabs for money and power — a track record that goes all the way back to the days when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas?

Mrs. Clinton’s own announced agenda attacks the very foundation of American Constitutional government, on which Americans’ own freedom depends.

She has already said that she will appoint Supreme Court justices who will specifically overturn a recent Supreme Court decision, “Citizens United versus FEC.”

That decision said that both corporations and labor unions have freedom of speech, including the right to contribute money toward political campaigns.

Hillary Clinton’s determination to pick judicial appointees on the basis of their willingness to overturn that decision is a more brazen extension of the political left’s other attempts to stifle the free speech of those who oppose their agenda.

Demands that various advocacy organizations reveal the names of all their donors are an obvious attempt to scare off those donors, with harassment by everyone from vandals to rioters to the Internal Revenue Service and other government bureaucrats.

Without the right to free speech, none of the other rights is safe. Government officials can get away with all sorts of abuses, if others are not free to talk about those abuses.

There long has been evidence of Hillary Clinton’s sense of entitlement – the stories of her ordering Secret Service officers to carry her bags, her unabashed demands for hundreds of thousands of dollars for speeches, her insistence on specific travel accommodations and much more.

Now there’s evidence of exactly what she thinks of the average American who works hard and pays taxes to support the Washington establishment.

Not much.

“I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans,” wrote her campaign manager, John Podesta, in an email.

Hillary for prosecution, not president! Join the sizzling campaign to put Mrs. Clinton where she really belongs

The email has surfaced in a WikiLeaks dump of Podesta’s emails. Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson noted the email, sent by Podesta on April 19, 2015, was a discussion about what “talking points Hillary should use in framing her candidacy for president in order to get a good head start.”

“I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I’m running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion,” he wrote. “I think if she doesn’t say it once, people will notice and say we false started in Iowa.”

He noted previous emails on the topic, including one in which Clinton admitted during a Goldman Sachs speech she was “far removed” from the middle class, and yet another in which “Clinton campaign surrogate Bill Ivey talks about the need to maintain political power by producing ‘an unaware and compliant citizenry.’”

The following is an email that was sent to me after viewing the debate last night. I read this powerful essay this morning! It was written by my friend L. She has agreed to be a guest blogger here at Talk Wisdom. Opinions and comments are welcome!

The Debate

Chris,

I just finished watching the debate. What an embarrassment they both are. I have seen the SNL skits. They are pretty good, but they don’t even have to make up anything with Trump and Hillary. It is funny straight out of their mouths. These two are like caricatures of real people. The hair, mannerisms, cankles, and Mau jackets. Bring in the clowns.

I just can’t bring myself to vote for either of them. I don’t want a Progressive Globalist Socialist (Hillary) or a Nationalist Socialist (Trump). I sometimes think Donald Trump is just in it to destroy the Republican Party, but I know Hillary will do everything she can to destroy the Constitution, and make us a Globalist Socialist country. She wants us to be like Europe, and you can see how they are crumbling. I can’t believe what Merkel has done to Germany. She is a disaster, and a Globalist. Some say she may be a Communist, because of her past. Socialism has been tried over and over again, and it never works.

You know there is more smut to come on Donald and Hillary don’t you? They haven’t even touched on the harassment of the reporter from England or the eminent domain in Scotland. Then there is the pedophile island that Bill Clinton visited several times, more emails, secret service, and women that Hillary has destroyed and paid off. That doesn’t even touch on the some 37 mysterious deaths of people that were close to or came against the Clintons throughout their public life. A lot more despicable stuff from both of them is coming soon.

I want to travel, but honestly I don’t feel safe about going anywhere right now,

No matter who becomes president we are headed for a major economic down turn, and probably more like a depression, It is a cyclical historic event that just always happens. The Fed has been holding it off, but they can’t much longer. It is going to happen, and it could be in weeks, months or a few years. I have been reading and studying about it, and all the signs are here. They are printing money like crazy with no gold or silver backing. The housing market is in another bubble. The trade dollar is leaving the U.S., and the banks worldwide are becoming unstable. Our debt is more than it has ever been, and is rising at an unheard of rate. We will be at 20 trillion in debt at the time of the election. When Bush left office it was a little over 10 trillion. President Obama has almost doubled it. We are in a very bad spot.

I wish I could be ignorant of what has happened, and what I fear is coming, but I just can’t go back to my happy place, because too many things have fallen into place.

You add to all of this the threat from Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, and Russia, and it just feels like a disaster waiting to happen. You also have Turkey, our ally or so they say, who had a failed coup. We keep acting as if nothing is going on over there, but they are no longer a secular country. They are primarily Muslim under Erdogan, with quite a few Islamists. Erdogan has been purging any opposition to his government, and we are barely covering it. Did you know that we are in a proxy war right now with Russia? Russia actually says we are in WWIII with them, but nobody is listening.

Russia is trying to create chaos just as the Islamists are trying to do. Oddly enough both want to bring about the end of the world. Russia with Putin, and his right hand man Dugin in a kind of twisted Christian way, which is more in line with Hitler from what I have read. Then there is Al Baghdadi who has claimed he is the Caliph, and is trying to bring chaos too, for the end of the world to bring the 12th Imam here in a twisted Muslim way. It is nuts, but it is happening, and very few people are paying attention or they just don’t understand.

Clinton has close advisors that are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood who are advocates of Sharia Law, and Muslim world dominance. Then there is George Soros. He is a huge supporter of the Democratic party, and a very evil guy. He likes to destroy whole countries for fun, and sees himself as a world ruler.

Donald Trump has advisors and people working in his campaign that are Russian, and have close ties to Putin. Then there is also Steve Bannon (some say an advocate of the Alt Right) from Breitbart, and Roger Ailes (very powerful and accused of sexually harassing employees at Fox) from Fox that advise Trump, and are both the main reason he is where he is in this campaign. Having the media in your pocket always helps.

It is all such a twisted upside down mess. I feel like the American people are just pawns in this game they are all playing. It would make for a great movie, but it is sad that we are actually living this.

I would pray that God would help us, but we turned our back on Him. Then as a Nation we set it in stone with the legalization of gay marriage, and our closed eyes or saying the horrific abortion videos were edited and untrue. When you make a covenant with God as George Washington did you don’t get to choose which of God’s laws you will obey.

As the news from both presidential candidates goes from bad to worse to nightmarish to surreal (see below), I find myself grieving. There is no other way to put it. I’m not grieving as one who has no hope. But I am grieving all the same.

It is bitterly painful to see America arrive at this point, neck-deep in corruption and vulgarity, edging closer and closer, day by day, towards moral, spiritual, social and economic implosion.

We desperately need a revival, a sweeping spiritual awakening, to put us back on the right track. Will it come? I honestly do not know. I’m praying — pleading — for the Lord to give us one, and soon. I’m praying for each of the presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their families and advisors. I’m praying the Lord will supernaturally salvage this train wreck of an election and give us a surprise ending that will truly bless the entire country. Yet I’m also praying for His infinite, amazing grace and mercy if He chooses to let us proceed down this ugly path “as is.”

Unless we turn wholeheartedly to Christ our coming King and Redeemer, it could be a very dark four years indeed. But the Scriptures do offer us hope.

“If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.” (Jeremiah 18:7-10)

I have to admit that I seriously long for the Lord to set the Rapture into motion in the days or weeks ahead. Election Day would be just fine, though sooner would be better.

I am willing to preach the Gospel and teach the Word of God and make disciples and serve the poor as long as the Lord tarries, so as long as He continues to grant the grace and strength to do His will and forgiveness whenever I inevitably fall short.

But as darkness falls over America, as it is falling over so much of the world, I am growing weary. As the rich and powerful and corrupt seem to gain more riches and more power and grow more corrupt, I am growing weary. As I see injustice spreading like a cancer, and as I see so many people abandoning the faith and ignoring the Word of God and doing whatever is right in their own eyes, I am growing weary.

It is all foretold, of course. The ancient prophecies are coming to pass — all the apostasy, the corruption, the persecution and darkness that the Lord Jesus and the Apostles and the Hebrew prophets foretold about the “last days” — we’re seeing it all play out, just as the Word warned us ahead of time.

Consider just this passage and ask yourself if this doesn’t describe American culture and politics today? “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; avoid such men as these.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

The worse it gets, the more I find myself saying, “Maranatha, come, Lord Jesus!”

For now, let me just say this: regardless of how grieved I am by both nominees, I am 100% committed to genuinely and faithfully praying for the Trump family, and for the Clintons, as I have been throughout this campaign. I will continue to pray that the Lord Jesus Christ shows them great mercy, that they will seek Him with all their heart, and that He will supernaturally change them and bear much good fruit in and through them.

The God of the Bible is a change agent. All through the Scriptures we see God saving, changing and redeeming broken, burdened, troubled lives, and it is breathtaking to behold. The Lord loves to change hearts and minds and mouths. He alone has the power to change lives, and I truly pray He will show His great mercy and love to the Trumps and the Clintons. Meanwhile, I have great respect for those who feel called to provide either family and either candidate sound, Biblical, spiritual counsel. Both families need true, faithful believers around them speaking the truth in love, as do we all.

Indeed, whoever wins the presidency and is raised up to lead America for the next four years, I will pray for faithfully and respectfully. This is what the Apostle Paul commands of us. Thus, I hope you and your family and friends will be faithful in praying for the next president and all the Members of Congress, too. “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (I Timothy 2:1-4)

That said, I believe it’s important for all of us to realize just how much trouble we’re in. After killing 58 million babies, America now faces impending divine judgment. There is no way out, no way back. The blood of 58 million babies is crying out for justice and they will get it.

Only a true revival — a great, sweeping spiritual awakening — could possibly forestall such a judgment. In addition to such a great awakening, ideally the Lord will give America a leader like King Josiah, the Biblical leader who made big, bold changes to turn his nation around. Indeed, God saw Josiah’s humble heart, and his great love for the Scriptures, and his passionate commitment to help his nation make major reforms and get back on the right track, and therefore He gave Josiah much favor. Indeed, because of Josiah’s leadership, the Lord chose to forestall imminent judgement of the nation of Judah for some two decades.

Sadly, neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton nor Tim Kaine have demonstrated any of the characteristics of Josiah. But Gov. Mike Pence has. Perhaps the Lord will raise him up to provide the leadership we need at this time. I hope so. Time will tell.

In the meantime, prayer is really all we have as individual Christians at this point. Yet what more do we need? Prayer offers us a direct line to our Father in heaven, the Almighty God of the universe who could grant us a great awakening if He sovereignly chose to, or who alone can give us the grace to endure the suffering and hardships if He chooses to set His judgments into motion.

In these dark times, my friends, come what may, may you and I keep our eyes on Jesus and be “joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.” (Romans 12:12)

Proverbs 2:2-5

"Make your ear attentive to wisdom, incline your heart to understanding; for if you cry for discernment, lift your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will discern the fear of the LORD, and discover the knowledge of God"

About Christinewjc and this Talk Wisdom blog.

Married for 34 years to my wonderful husband! Two grown adult children, a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful granddaughter in whom we treasure and enjoy life.

Our family is very close and love to spend time with each other. We share a deep Christian faith, love for the Lord Jesus Christ and love for each other.

I earned a BA in education from Kean University in 1978. I have been studying the Bible for over 30 years and in 2003, upon successful completion of the course of study offered in the MA Lecture Series, earned a Christian Apologetics Certificate from Biola University.

This blog is named “Talk Wisdom” because one of the main purposes of writing here is to share the wisdom of God – the only absolute and true wisdom – that is contained within the Scriptures of the Bible. As a born-again Christian, it is my desire to heed and share Paul’s encouragement and warnings in 2 Timothy 3:1-17

2 Timothy 3:16 – All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2 Timothy 3:17 – that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Talk Wisdom’s goal is to defend the tenets and values of Biblical Christian faith. We defend our Constitutional Republic and Charters of Freedom, especially when speaking out against destructive social and political issues. As followers of our Savior and Lord, we should boldly stand up for Jesus Christ in our present circumstances. He is our Savior, Lord, and King, and His love needs to be shed abroad in our hearts and in our world – now.

A quote to remember!

“We are to be obedient to God and that means we are to fight against sin. Talking about not judging and loving each other does not absolve us from our duty to correct and — if necessary — censure those who refuse to obey God’s laws. If this were the case, then God would have had no reason to even give us a law: He would have just said do not judge, just love and left it at that — but He did not do this. Instead, He told us to obey, and then gave us at least ten commands. If we love each other — Biblical love — then we will do everything we can to help each other keep those commands, not make it easier to break them. After all, how can we claim to love someone if we are in the process of making their path to hell easier to travel?”

Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting - this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal.
